Dota 2 spectator client activated for every steam account, all 40 million of them
Comment
Whilst you may not be one of the (relative) few who have been invited play Dota 2 in the beta, you can now watch the game using the newly released Dota spectator client. It's free and, as of tonight, you already have it activated on your Steam client. It's a canny move by Valve for sure: On the one hand, they're able to partly satisfy their legions of fans who are chomping at the bit to get a glimpse of Dota 2 but aren't able to pay the £25 to buy their way into the beta, and, on the other, it's introducing all 40+ million Steam users to Dota as a spectator sport.
Last night, the finals of The Defense, the massive JoinDota league that’s brought some of the biggest names in competitive Dota 2 together, took place between Complexity Gaming and Mousesports, leading to a four game series that ended with Complexity taking the win three games to one, and netting them a tasty €6,000 prize.
